Linux Logo Patches

This repository contains patches to add support for custom splash logos in the boot screen.

To apply the patches download the one for the relevant kernel version and apply it with git am or whatever method is most convenient.

An image that the kernel accepts can be generated like this:

magick logo.png logo.ppm
ppmquant 224 logo.ppm > logo_224.ppm
pnmnoraw splash_224.ppm > logo_ascii_224.ppm

Then simply copy logo_ascii_224.ppm to drivers/video/logo/logo_custom_clut224.ppm

Don't forget to set LOGO_CUSTOM=y in the kernel configuration
